Lovely proper pub b&b
Pros:

I loved the location of the property seemed very local to everywhere you needed. I loved the feel of the property a proper pub b&b. As well you get discount on food and rink which was very handy and made us utilise the pub rather then going out for food.

Cons:

We stayed over the hottest bank holiday in May and found our rooms very hot even with the window open (closing the curtains so we didn’t get insects in the room) this could be a simple fix of providing fans in every room for a more pleasant experience. At breakfast the menu is good but no alternative milk present so had to be that customer who asked of a morning.
